Summary
AZelda: Tears of the Kingdomplayer helped their daughter construct a “hardcore jump rope” in the game and the results are delightfully ridiculous. The latest entry in the venerable and belovedZeldafranchise launched last year, but it’s still getting lots of attention from gamers as they go back to explore new strategies or craft new creations. Indeed, the crafting system ofZelda: Tears of the Kingdomseems likely to keep fans busy until the next title in the franchise eventually releases.
Tears of the Kingdomreceived rave reviews and incredible support from fans for its amazing story and great gameplay. TheZeldagame also got lots of attention, however, for being among thegames with unique crafting systemsthat give players incredible freedom to be creative and clever. Since it released, fans have taken advantage of this system and title’s realistic physics to build amazing machines, vehicles, weapons, other remarkable creations. Now, another gamer and their daughter are adding to this legacy.
On Reddit, aZeldafan going by SquishyGamesCo has shared a video of a “hardcore jump rope” contraption they designed with their daughter inTears of the Kingdom. The device consists of a large platform with two wheels on pillars and a vine, acting as a rope, suspended between them. When activated, the wheels spin, move the rope in a circle, allowing Link to jump over it as it passes just above the ground. The speed of the wheels makes for quite a dexterity challenge and, if a jump is missed, the rope will actually deal a small bit of damage as a penalty.
Gamer Gives Credit to Their Daughter
In the post, SquishyGamesCo emphasizes that, while they helped, the jump rope was entirely their daughter’s idea and design. It seems that gaming with their 7-year-old child is a bonding experience for the pair, and they couldn’t resist showing off what their daughter had created. There’s no doubt that video games are a great way for parents and children to spend quality time and share interests. Last year, for example, anartist made a real-world Pokedex for their daughter.
Cool creations in the latestZeldagame are common occurrences. Recently,aTears of the Kingdomplayer built a remote firing cannon, and new vehicle designs emerge online almost daily. Still, this new machine stands out as it has no special purpose other than being fun and for how it speaks to the special relationship between a parent and a child.
Since its release,Tears of the Kingdomhas joined the ranks ofthe best open-world games of all time. This is, in large part, due to the freedom it gives players to explore and build to their hearts' content. This “hardcore jump rope” is just the latest example of this freedom.
